Review: Wacław Potocki, Dyjalog o zmartwychwstaniu Pańskim. Wydała i opracowała Agnieszka Czechowicz. Redakcja naukowa Radosław Grześkowiak. Lublin 2018. „Staropolski Dramat i Dialog Religijny”. T. 3

Summary/Abstract: The review is a discussion about the publication the only drama by Wacław Potocki’s “Dyjalog o zmartwychwstaniu Pańskim” (“A Dialogue about the Resurrection of Jesus”) edited by Agnieszka Czechowicz. The high value of the book is the effect of equipping it with a genuine introduction, remarks on the sources of the 17th c. text—a combination of Potocki’s inventiveness with two Passion mysteries, all of which, according to Czechowicz, gave the form called “a creative experiment,” considerations about the piece’s rhetoricity, and finally an attempt to establish whether the text succeeded in being staged. A great value of the edition is a model transcription of Potocki’s text and valuable commentaries. Comparable advantages refer to the transcription and notes about the anonymous source of “A Dialogue”, namely to the mystery play “[Dialogus] de resurrectione D[omini] n[ostri] Jesu Christi”. Due to inclusion of both texts in one volume the reader may discover Potocki’s creative method.
